The Race That Made Me SRO Esports Champion

[@Nicolas_Cage_Bees]

It's kind of crazy that Tonizza can play this and then swap back over to F1 esports and still compete despite being 2 completely different types of games and cars. I guess fast drivers will always be fast regardless but still.

[@salvm4715]

I guess you can draw a similar comparison with Max Verstappen. He's in an F1 car and also at the top of iracing in a GT3 car. Hey, is James still the fastest gamer or does that belong to Max Verstappen? We need a showdown Jaaames!

[@coolsharkracing7941]

@@salvm4715 we got that at the virtual le mans 24h! Granted both drivers had issues...

[@Leynad778]

@@coolsharkracing7941 During the first one that got red flagged, Max Verstappen was a second quicker per lap than his team mate Bono Huis, winner of the Vegas eRace. That was the one in rF2 with 200k price money...

[@jraybay]

I always thought this too. I know when I switch to F1 from ACC GT3 cars, it feels like a fast forward button was hit and it takes awhile to adjust lol. These guys just rag doll any race car and go fast

[@Jaaames]

Yeah 100% David in any car on any game would be up there, amazing driver.

[@BigDuke6ixx]

Well done, James. People laughed at me in 1986 (the Revs era) when I said simulated motorsport would be massive one day and that people would be able to compete against each other and that real racing drivers would be involved.

[@Tortellinii]

I still don't believe how we survived the Kemmel straight on lap 1 😅

[@Jaaames]

Yeah we got so lucky on that one ahaha

To be honest, that you are able to be so patient while driving for the Championship, leaving gaps for other cars, not attacking every space even not defending your position is really great to see. People should look up to your Racecraft!

Thanks to Williams team we now know that at least 70% of Esports ACC teams or players are using cheats. My guess is it must be higher or how could everyone else at that level compete?

Every new James video is another reminder why I should never bother trying to be a race car driver. 🔥

can't wait for SRO to kick off this year, hopefully another mega year. All the best for the upcoming season man, LETS GO

[@Jaaames]

Cheers man!

[@rankisdumb214]

I love the McLaren. I definitely struggle to get the damper hiso not to be flat in motec. Finally messing more with tuning as I feel I've maxed out what I can do time wise with the base aggressive

Such a treat bringing us along on your journey. Great job.

Pleasure!

Just love how you have a phone propped up against the radiator to act as your broadcast facecam.

I like the way he calls it "piffpaff" instead of fagne chicane. Also congrats on SRO championship

[@WillArtie]

wow mate ' this is proper racing & tension! maybe I should extend my eauto viewing beyond Gran Tour...

[@jordangreer6236]

Awesome racing James 💨🚀

[@AeroVeloce]

Great race! That was some fierce competition.

[@bransonhelvey6216]

Fastest hands in the Wild West that save on lap 1 was insane

This was the best video so far. Ty

[@rynosraceroom66]

Good stuff🤟🏻🏁

[@chuckwagon7354]

Come on dude. Your former boss will tell you 'a' race does not make you a champion, all the races in which you kicked ass is why you are a champion. And you worked so very hard to win that championship. But check your rear view mirror, I'm now using the CSL DD. I'm coming for you 😂

[@Jaaames]

I'll keep an eye out for ya! ahaha

[@markeden6734]

Congrats .👍 Are you still running the Asetek pedals or back to the Sprints?

[@Jaaames]

Back to the Heusinkveld Sprints :)

[@jadynhasstupid2275]

@@Jaaames oh why? Is it cause of how light the throttle was or are you just more comfortable on the sprints?

[@MasterCamus]

Awesome race mate. Do you still play with a single screen?

[@mytraidmark]

not that im fast enough but ive always wondered how you get into sro esports? like do you have to qualify? perform well in some other series? or is it by invite?

[@Jaaames]

They have online qualifiers for every season, all the info is on their website: sro-esports.com/

[@LEGENDARY_KHAN]

This video is soo well made

[@damoclesband]

Congrats !

[@Nexpr0]

AMAZING JOB MATE WELL DONE NICE HARD RACING TAHTS WHAT WE LIKE TO SEE

[@shvkpr1]

Why are the liveries completely black for you in the game? Is that like a setting or a glitch lol cause I was so confused for 7 min

[@Jaaames]

Because having everyone elses liveries whilst racing lowers FPS, don't get me wrong I'd love to enable them, but I need them frames!

[@iiSync]

The god tier champ

[@ArkHavoc22]

James, can you give me advice on why/when you go TC 0? I understand that you're going TC 0 to prevent the TC kicking in to give you the best possible exit on corners. But why even turn it back on? Do you leave it on for corner entry to help with stabilization?

[@Jaaames]

For the bulk of the corner you need the TC on, otherwise it would result in a spin. I only turn off TC once I have traction & I am exiting the corner. In the last update however they have removed the advantage of doing this, so I don't do it anymore.

[@anthonyt1t5]

How many cars are in that field? That's like nascar numbers.. 40?

[@hodders5903]

Great video

[@craigyirush3492]

Who decides what cars/marques the competitors drive?

[@Jaaames]

As a driver you get to choose, if you're fast enough of course.

why are that graphics look like the cars where flying??

what graphics settings you use in acc ?

[@Jaaames]

Very low graphics

[@EhEhEhEINSTEIN]

@@Jaaames Is this just purely for game performance? The lack of undercar shadows is very strange to look at, makes the cars look like they're levitating lol. Hell of a drive though, really looking forward to watching this year

[@theflyinggasmask]

Why are all the cars black on your stream but not in the top left??

[@hnielsen123]

He's playing on very low graphics settings to get maximum framerate during the race, but the top left is a replay where obv the graphics are turned back up

[@theflyinggasmask]

@@hnielsen123 So on low settings the other cars has no textures... Kinda weird but thanks for the explanation.

[@Pawrcawddeo]

That's not a graphics issue. Those black cars had custom skin liveries.

[@theflyinggasmask]

@@Pawrcawddeo What's the point then? If you're the only one that can see your livery? You don't even see it yourself during the race when you drive from the cockpit..

[@fns58]

I don't think there's any need of running the game with such low graphics with a 3070 and an 10700K, looks ridiculous without the shadows lmao.
